Production
Quinta do Pégo, located in Portugal’s celebrated Douro Valley, is known for producing port wines of exceptional depth and structure. The 2017 Vintage Port is a testament to the estate’s expertise, capturing the intensity and balance of a remarkable growing season. Made from select grape varieties, including Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, and Sousão, the wine benefits from fruit sourced from both younger and century-old vines. After fermentation, it is aged in oak barrels to develop complexity while preserving its powerful fruit expression.
Tasting notes
Opaque ruby-black in color, the nose offers ripe blackberry, plum, and fig, accented with balsamic and spice notes. The palate is bold yet silky, with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, evolving finish.
